After the release of the Apple Lisa computer in January 1983, Apple invested considerable effort in the development of a local area networking ( LAN ) system for the machines.

Wireless broadband is technology that provides high-speed wireless Internet access or computer networking access over a wide area.

Computer networking is sometimes considered a sub-discipline of electrical engineering, telecommunications, computer science, information technology or computer engineering, since it relies upon the theoretical and practical application of these disciplines.

The computer industry is made up of all of the businesses involved in developing computer software, designing computer hardware and computer networking infrastructures, the manufacture of computer components and the provision of information technology services including System Administration and Maintenance.

DARPA has been responsible for funding the development of many technologies which have had a major effect on the world, including computer networking, as well as NLS, which was both the first hypertext system, and an important precursor to the contemporary ubiquitous graphical user interface.

Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies for local area networks ( LANs ).

* Reliability ( computer networking )

This also applies to data transmission quantities over telecommunication circuits, as the telecommunications and computer networking industries have always used the SI prefixes with their standards-based meaning.

* Ethernet hub, computer networking device

* Head-of-line blocking, a performance-limiting phenomenon in computer networking

Internetworking ( a combination of the words inter (" between ") and networking ; it is not internet-working or international-network ) is the practice of connecting a computer network with other networks through the use of gateways that provide a common method of routing information packets between the networks.

Additionally, both sender and receiver are constrained linguistically by the properties of the internet software, computer hardware and networking hardware linking them.

In March 1982, the US Department of Defense declared TCP / IP as the standard for all military computer networking.

In computer networking, use of NAT ( Network Address Translation ) ( RFC 1918 ) or PAT ( Port Address Translation ) to cope with the shortage of IPv4 addresses is an example of a kludge.

During the same period, Unix computer workstations from vendors such as Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, Silicon Graphics, Intergraph, NeXT and Apollo were using TCP / IP based networking.

Despite being modest in number ( perhaps 7, 000 units total as of 1988 ), Lisp machines commercially pioneered many now-commonplace technologies – including effective garbage collection, laser printing, windowing systems, computer mice, high-resolution bit-mapped graphics, computer graphic rendering, and networking innovations like CHAOSNet.

These companies introduced the concept of directory services to information technology and computer networking, their input culminating in the comprehensive X. 500 specification, a suite of protocols produced by the International Telecommunication Union ( ITU ) in the 1980s.

In addition to developing the predecessors to modern computing and networking technologies, students, staff, and faculty members at Project MAC, the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and the Tech Model Railroad Club wrote some of the earliest interactive computer video games like Spacewar!

The game's demo file included information needed for computer networking ; however, to prevent cheating, id warned of legal action for dissemination of the file format.

MV implementations also have used digital cameras capable of direct connections ( without a framegrabber ) to a computer via FireWire, USB or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.

* Gigabit ( Gb ), a unit of information used, for example, to quantify computer memory or storage capacity

Hardware that may be plugged into a computer via an ExpressCard includes connect cards, FireWire 800 ( 1394B ), USB 2. 0, USB 3. 0, Ethernet ( even Gigabit Ethernet ), Serial ATA external stick drives, solid-state drives, external enclosures for desktop size PCI Express graphics cards, wireless network interface cards ( NIC ), TV tuner cards, Common Access Card ( CAC ) readers, and soundcards and many others devices using chips which connects to computer using with USB or PCIe.

USRPs connect to a host computer through a high-speed USB or Gigabit Ethernet link, which the host-based software uses to control the USRP hardware and transmit / receive data.

By 1987 Ethernet was clearly winning the standards battle over Token Ring, and in the middle of that year Apple introduced EtherTalk 1. 0 for the newly released Macintosh II computer.

In terms of current popular technologies: Any computer connected to the same Ethernet repeater or switch is a member of the same broadcast domain.

This was followed quickly by DEC's Unibus to Ethernet adapter, which DEC sold and used internally to build its own corporate network, which reached over 10, 000 nodes by 1986, making it one of the largest computer networks in the world at that time.

Some computer sound cards include a standard MIDI connector, whereas others connect by any of various means that include the D-subminiature DA-15 game port, USB, FireWire, Ethernet or a proprietary connection.

The computer is connected to the PLC through Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422 cabling.

The 500 series featured DSTN ( 520 ) or active-matrix LCD displays ( 540 and 550 ), stereo speakers, and was the first computer to use a trackpad ( although a similar technology had been included on the pioneering Gavilan SC 11 years earlier ); it was also the first portable computer to offer built-in Ethernet networking.

The Swedes, most of who are computer literate, enjoy a continuous growth in the Internet market and the availability of technologies such as Metro Ethernet, fiber, satellite, WAN access technologies and even the availability of 3G services.

They booted over the network ( via an Excelan EXOS / 101 Ethernet card ) from their controlling computer.

Wake-on-LAN ( WOL ) is an Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or woken up by a network message.

Founded in 1970 as a division of Xerox Corporation, PARC has been responsible for such well known and important developments as laser printing, Ethernet, the modern personal computer, graphical user interface ( GUI ), object-oriented programming, ubiquitous computing, amorphous silicon ( a-Si ) applications, and advancing very-large-scale-integration ( VLSI ) for semiconductors.

* Ethernet as a local-area computer network

3Com began making Ethernet adaptor cards for many early 1980s computer systems, including the LSI-11, IBM PC, and VAX-11.

The hardware connects to a computer through a USB or Ethernet connection, and then relays the captured signals to the software on the computer.

# The UPS to report its status to the computer it powers via a communications link such as a serial port, Ethernet, GSM / GPRS or USB

This type of cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet.

The information might be name / organization / e-mail address ( collected at ' product registration ' and retained internally ), or product copy serial number, or computer ID ( e. g., CPU serial number, or interface hardware address ( e. g., Ethernet MAC address, a unique in the world ID ), or ... One software program that claims to remove such information from files notes that there are about 30 different kinds in Word format files.

A packet analyzer ( also known as a network analyzer, protocol analyzer or packet sniffer, or for particular types of networks, an Ethernet sniffer or wireless sniffer ) is a computer program or a piece of computer hardware that can intercept and log traffic passing over a digital network or part of a network.

Apple Attachment Unit Interface ( AAUI ) is a mechanical re-design by Apple of the standard Attachment Unit Interface ( AUI ) used to connect Ethernet transceivers to computer equipment.

Because of this, Apple's computers, which were billed as having built-in Ethernet, were actually rather expensive to connect to Ethernet, perhaps adding as much as 10 % to the total price of the computer system.
